ACL Tear (Torn ACL)

Patient image of: Daniel Burdick

This photo was taken at Mammoth 10 months after my ACL Repair surgery with Dr. DiFelice. This ski trip was just a month ago, and I'm so thankful that I'm Back in the Game! Downhill skiing is not only possible now, but it was just as good as before my accident. Recovery from the surgery was quick - I was hiking 3x a week just 4 months after surgery! I took zero opioids and just 2 acetaminophen pills after surgery, and none during recovery. What Dr. DiFelice does is simply miraculous. Thank you!
